How to pick the right Domain Hosting

Don't go by recommendation alone.

Good tech support - does this mean you want 24/7 phone access? There is a key for you to look for.

How many domains are you planning to host?

How much space and bandwidth do you think you'll need for the first year?

Is the host you pick easy to move out of should you need to move in a year from now?

What is your actual budget?

Is it just wordpress? Some hosts are actually optimized for this - but it's not necessarily the deciding factor.

How much time have you spent on hosting review type sites and actual forums that discuss hosting as their specialty?
